Insert mode

• Arrow keys
• Special keys

You can use C-r, but it will use regular vim registers, while C-v will use the VM yanked content, if present.

Autocomplete and abbreviations should work without problems, snippets will not.

Arrow keys

Left	one char left
Right	one char right
Up	one line up
Down	one line down
C-Right	same as normal w
C-Left	same as normal b
C-S-Right	same as normal W
C-S-Left	same as normal B
C-Down	same as normal e
C-Up	same as normal ge
C-S-Down	same as normal E
C-S-Up	same as normal gE

Special keys

In insert mode you can use the following special keys:

C-d	same as Del
C-a	go to indent level (^)
C-e	go to end of line ($)
C-w	works for all cursors
C-v	paste VM registry content

Of special note:

• Tab will insert a literal tab character if noexpandtab is set, but won't convert previous space characters in the same line, as vim does.

• C-v will paste the unnamed VM register, if not empty: this means that you can yank a set of regions, then paste them in insert mode with C-v.

• C-q is not remapped so you can use it to insert special characters

• C-r will paste regurlar vim registers, not VM registers.

• C-w will stop (by default) at the beginning of the same line. To allow it to keep deleting in previous lines, set:

    let g:VM_icw_keeps_line = 0
